‘I’m not sorry’: Tommy Robinson blames ‘admins’ for false accusation post

On Wednesday, a post on Robinson’s X account said: “In this instance I got it wrong, as did many others, so for that I apologise and I have deleted that post.”

Beg told BBC Scotland News that the wording appeared to fall far short of an apology.

“Is he apologising because he can’t get his facts right or is he apologising for the hurt he’s caused me?” he said.

Then in another turn of events on Thursday, Robinson denied he had sent the apology or the original post.

In a recorded video posted on X, in which he is lying on a bed topless, Robinson tells his followers he still thought it was “pretty weird” that Beg was in the park.

He says “I’m not sorry at all” and swears, claiming he didn’t say anything.

“I read all the headlines talking like I’ve said something that’s not true, when that’s not true – it was one of my admins,” Robinson insists.

In the last 24 hours Robinson’s account has since sent upwards of 30 posts, making accusations about politicians, describing London mayor Siddique Khan as a “parasite” and calling for the deportation of all Muslims in America.

Beg earlier told the BBC he felt fearful of his safety after seeing the posts about him on Robinson’s account.

He said: “My reputation has been tarnished through the world. I’ve seen videos where people around him attack people.”
